Elementary:
ColeyCast - Recorded by the students, each broadcast highlights some of the exciting things we're learning in our classroom.
Podcasts from the VI Room - Podcasts from students in a visually impaired classroom. Scroll down and look at the Mother's Day Podcasts they are very cute!
Podcasts from Castlio's own Mrs. Hepburn! - 2nd graders create podcasts to show what they have learned in class. These were made using Garage Band and then uploaded to Carrie's class wiki which she uses for her website.
Podcasts from Central's own Miss O'Keefe! - 5th graders create podcasts to demonstrate their knowledge of the different Native American Indian Tribes. The girls also practiced being news reporters. They had a lot of fun! Check out their discussion threads at the top of the page to see their enthusiasm.
